Letters to the President: Tanisha's Story
Stand with the President in support of education: my.barackobama.com Dear Mr. President, I was getting ready to embark on a new journey, start my adult life, and go to college. Then at seventeen I was involved in a tragic car accident. I was told I would never walk again. I realized I had a decision to make. I could either succumb to my injury or I could succeed in spite of my injury. Since then I've graduated from college magna cum laude and I was accepted into law school. Although my father did not attend college himself, he was a hard worker, he always told me: "Go get a good education because if you lose everything no one can ever take your knowledge or degree away from you." The steps you have taken to make college more affordable will ensure that families like mine will be able to send their children to college as well. I will always support you because middle class families like mine need to have a leader like you standing up for the issues that matter most. Sincerely, Tanisha Elliott From: BarackObamadotcom Views: 3412 126 ratings Time: 01:54 More in News & Politics

Sacred Trust - Obama for America 2012 Television Ad
Learn more: www.barackobama.com The sacrifices that our troops have made have been incredible. It's because of what they've done that we've been able to go after Al Qaeda and kill Bin Laden. When they come home we have a sacred trust to make sure that we are doing everything we can to heal all of their wounds. Giving them the opportunities that they deserve to find a job and get the education that they need. It's not enough just to make a speech about how we value veterans. It's not enough just to remember them on Memorial Day. From: BarackObamadotcom Views: 17407 238 ratings Time: 00:31 More in News & Politics

President Obama on Creating an Economy Built to Last
Facebook it: my.barackobama.com Tweet it: my.barackobama.com Tumblr it: my.barackobama.com President Obama responds to questions during a press conference at the 2012 Chicago NATO Summit. President Obama: "Well, first of all I think Cory Booker is an outstanding mayor. He's doing great work in Newark and obviously helping to turn that city around. And I think it's important to recognize that this issue is not a, quote, distraction. This is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign about how do we create an economy where everybody from top to bottom, folks on Wall Street and folks on Main Street, have a shot at success, and if they're working hard and they're acting responsibly, that they're able to live out the American dream. Now, I think my view of private equity is that it is -- it is set up to maximize profits and that's a healthy part of the free market. That's - that's part of the role of a lot of business people. That's not unique to private equity, and as I think my representatives have said repeatedly, and I will say today, I think there are folks who do good work in that area, and there are times where they identify the capacity for the economy to create new jobs or new industries. But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that's not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers. And the reason this is relevant to the campaign is because my opponent, Governor Romney, his main calling card ... From: BarackObamadotcom Views: 30677 544 ratings Time: 04:52 More in News & Politics

President Obama at the 2012 Women's Leadership Forum
Join Women for Obama: my.barackobama.com Hello everybody, It's fair to say that there's been a bit of talk of women and women's issues so far this year. And I've said before, I want to repeat, I think it's been oversimplified, women are not an interest group. Women shouldn't be treated that way. Women are half this country and half of its workforce. Your 80% of my household if you count my mother-in-law and I always count my mother-in-law. So I got a vested interest in making sure we do well. As a father, the highlight of everyday for me is asking my daughters about theirs. Their hopes and their futures it's what drives me every single day when I step into the White House. Every decision I make is all about ensuring that all of our daughters and all of our sons grow up in a country that gives them the equal chance to be anything they set their minds to. A country where more doors are open to them than were open to us. When women make less than men for the same work that hurts families who have to get by with less and businesses who have fewer customers who can spend money there. When the job doesn't offer family leave to care for a new baby or sick leave to care for an ailing parent --that burns all of us, it's not just a women's issue. When any of our citizens can't fulfill there potential because of factors that had nothing to do with their talent or character or work ethic --that diminishes us as a country. It says something about who we are as Americans. Let's look at ... From: BarackObamadotcom Views: 3213 165 ratings Time: 04:11 More in News & Politics
